Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedThe invention claimed is:
1. A liquid delivery carrier consisting of a glyceryl caprylate containing 3% or less w/w of free glycerol, in an amount ranging from about 70% to about 80% by weight of the weight of the carrier, and PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil in an amount ranging from about 20% to about 30% by weight of the weight of the carrier, wherein the carrier at 25° C. has an UV absorbance of less than about 1 at 400 nm and a viscosity ranging from about 100 to about 200 mPa·s.
2. The carrier according to claim 1 , wherein the glyceryl caprylate is in an amount of about 75% by weight of the weight of the carrier and the PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil is in an amount of about 25% by weight of the weight of the carrier.Cited by (0)
